When the ugliness of life becomes unbearable, only beauty in death can set you free. This "linguistic thriller" force-feeds the viewer a non-verbal banquet they won't soon forget, giving new meaning to "reading between the lines". Naomi is a woman with a calling. A calling to deliver divine vengeance. Disgusted by the irreparable hideousness of the people that surround her, she sets out on a mission to correct it in the only way she knows how, even if it costs her her soul. But maybe beauty ain't worth all that.

This is the story of a group of people who sought to separate pain from its conventional utility and explore it as an entity, a vehicle for consciousness.
